Latin Folklore-events dit weekend in Madrid

Latin folklore encompasses the traditional music of Latin America, drawing from a rich tapestry of indigenous, European (especially Iberian), and African influences. Characterized by diverse rhythms and melodies, it typically features acoustic instrumentation such as guitars, charango, quena, zampoña, and various percussion. The music often serves as a narrative, reflecting local customs, history, and daily life, with moods ranging from celebratory and danceable to melancholic and reflective. It is the foundational source for many regional genres, distinct from modern Latin pop or jazz.
